Open the Element settings (Wall, Slab, Roof etc.) to either select a predefined Composite from your project / Template file or create a new one according to your requirements.
In the Geometry and Positioning Panel, click the “Composite” icon.
Use the pop-up to select a predefined composite structure.
Edit & Manage Composites
Options > Element Attributes > Composites
For example, I want to create new Floor Composite / Slab for a Timber Decking with nomenclature as FS08: Joists 140+40mm Decking, which is currently unavailable in my selection of composites in SLAB tool. You can also define a composite structure to be used with Wall, Slab, Roof and Shell, or just in a single element SLAB. So this new composite will only appear in the composite pop-ups of SLAB settings.
